Study Notes

Character Flaw and Sloth

Sloth refers to a significant lack of effort and a habitual tendency towards laziness.
It is a character trait that prevents individuals from engaging in meaningful activities.
Bob's weakness of will leads him to smoke despite knowing the health risks.
Smoking is an action reflecting a vice, which is distinct from the vice itself (e.g., weakness).

Peer pressure significantly contributes to youth involvement in social vices.
Lack of parental care and supervision can drive youth to seek validation and support from peers.

Addressing Drug Abuse

Research by the Philippines Statistics and Research Division focuses on drug trafficking and abuse trends.
Preventive education initiatives are essential in tackling drug-related issues.

Community-Based Rehabilitation Programs

Empowering stakeholders through training and outreach can aid in drug education.
Programs like Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) help educate children on the dangers of drug use.

Alcoholism

Alcohol has been consumed for centuries, dating back to early civilizations and earlier than Spanish colonization in the Philippines.
Alcohol is often misunderstood as merely a legal substance rather than recognized as a drug.
Alcoholism is characterized by physical and psychological dependence that adversely affects various life aspects, including personal relationships and employment.

Effects of Alcohol

Abuse of alcohol leads to significant health issues and social consequences, including increased risk of violence and crime.
Chronic alcoholism manifests through extreme dependence and changes in behavior.

Reasons for Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol is frequently consumed during meals to enhance flavor and as a social lubricant that reduces inhibitions.
Many view drinking as a symbol of social success and glamourize it despite the dangers.

Prostitution and Regulation

Prostitution is often viewed as a societal issue requiring regulation and control under government supervision.
Rehabilitation efforts aim to provide education and job skills for individuals involved in prostitution to lead better lives.

Gambling Problems

Secrecy about gambling behaviors can indicate a gambling problem, as individuals may fear judgment from others about their activities.
